Adam GilbertsonThe death of a Minnesota man whose body was found nearly a month after he disappeared following a night out in Denver has been ruled an accident.
An autopsy report for 29-year-old Adam Gilbertson was released Saturday by the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner.
Gilbertson, a registered nurse, never showed up for work on the morning of Dec. 15. His body was found Jan. 13 near the South Platte River.
On Saturday, an official with the Medical Examiner’s Office told Denver7 that Gilbertson died “as a result of the combined toxic effects of alcohol, hydrocodone (an opioid pain-killer), and amphetamine in combination with possible fresh water drowning, with a significant contributing condition of recent cocaine use.”
